Cheese can be obtained in different ways throughout the game and is essential for arming your trap. The simpler baits can be purchased at the Cheese Shoppe. The "special" cheese SUPER|brie+ is obtained through either donations to the MouseHunt developers or from other players. Certain varieties of cheese are created by imbuing other cheeses with potions and an increasing number of baits need to be crafted.

Different types of cheese have different odds of attracting a variety of mice to your trap. In general, a more expensive cheese will be better in attracting mice than less expensive varieties. Some mice will only go for cheese made with potions or crafted.

As you travel and move your trap to new locations, you may notice some cheese attracts specific breeds of mice more often than others. Although this will not always be obvious, observant hunters will benefit from studying the cheese preferences of different mice in different locations.

A hunter can choose which cheese to arm from the Cheese Inventory page, or from the main Camp page. Standard cheeses can also be armed after purchase from a Cheese Shoppe. In addition to using the last piece of cheese during a hunt, it is also possible to disarm cheese by arming with Maki or SUPER|brie+, then using the Hunter's Hammer to smash all armed pieces.

Cheese (Standard)

Other than SUPER|brie+, standard cheeses can be bought with gold at the various Cheese Shoppes, and are typically used in many locations, as compared to special cheeses which are used in a limited number of locations. They can also be occasionally found as loot from mice. Swiss, Brie and Gouda can also be obtained from Unstable Curds.

Gouda arrives in crates that float into the Harbour, seemingly from areas off the eastern coast of Gnawnia. It has a very good chance of attracting a variety of mice, and its sharp flavour is a special favourite of the mice who inhabit the islands from where it is assumed to originate.

The Developers reported that Gouda attracts in the Tribal Isles like Brie did on the mainland and that it has a special mainland use.

Gouda has been discovered to raise the encounter rates for Mermouse and Shelder mice in S.S. Huntington II. However, it is unknown if S.S. Huntington II classifies as part of the "mainland" which the Developers referred to, or as part of the Tribal Isles.

This special, extra fragrant brie is only available as a gift to the supporters of MouseHunt. Due to the magical properties of SUPER|brie+, crafty mice are unable to steal multiple pieces of this precious cheese from hunters who hunt in dangerous environments. This cheese offers a 99% attraction rate for many of the mice in the game!

The cheese are organized based on the regions in which they are typically found and used in. For more information on how to acquire a particular type of cheese, follow the links under the 'Source' column. While some cheese are directly available as loot from mice, it is neither consistent nor in useful amounts, hence their exclusion here.

Gnawnia

Sticky-fingered mice can’t keep their paws off this expensive, incredibly heavy cheese, due to its outer coating of purest gold. Eating Gilded Cheese is a bit of a challenge, but Master Burglars don’t care much for the taste-- it’s the shine they’re after.

This bait has the same attraction rate as Marble Cheese, but it comes with the added warm fuzzy feeling that you get from knowing that somebody out there in Gnawnia cares about you. Sending gifts is free, so why not return the favor? Gifts are a great way to help your friends out without spending any gold.

Valour

The thieving mice on the second floor of the King’s Gauntlet can’t keep their hands off this tasty treat. If the little pickpockets get away with too much of your cheese, don’t be afraid to get physical with them.

When you equip this scrumptious cheese, you can expect the sword fighting mice on the third floor of the King’s Gauntlet to slash their way through just about anything to try and get it. To counteract their amazing swordsmanship, make sure to use a tactical trap.

The music-making mice on the fourth tier of the King’s Gauntlet rely on this cheese blend to make their taste buds sing. Bards can be quite wily, so using the right tactic when choosing a trap will help the aspiring hunter stay on-key.

Only a truly magical blend of flavors could possibly attract the Mage mice on the fifth floor of the King’s Gauntlet, but this wedge possesses just the right mix. In order to take the mages by surprise, be sure to keep your trap in the shadows.

This cheese meets the exacting standards of the Holy Warriors on the sixth floor of the King’s Gauntlet. If you want to protect your traps from their righteous wrath, try confusing their sense of judgement by using an arcane trap.

It takes a seriously special piece of cheese to attract the attention of a mouse that’s already dead, but this little wedge fits the bill. Aged for centuries, with just a touch of grave dust mixed in for good measure, This re-animated cheese tends to be a little dry, using a little bit of water might make it go down easier.

There is only one type of mouse who can handle the sheer radiance that emanates from this cheese, which is the product of almost fourteen thousand different varieties, blended perfectly into one. The Eclipse Mouse dines only on this epic bait, when it deigns to visit this earthly plane at all. As for what type of trap to use against the Eclipse. . . that knowledge has been forgotten in the folds of time.

Whisker Woods

This soft, sweet cheese is quite a sought-after dessert item in Whisker Woods, both for its extreme rarity and its delightful, fruity flavor. Cherry Mice collect it because it reminds them of their favourite fruit, all year round.

Formed by a gnarly magical process which transforms it from a relatively normal lump of dairy products into a dried-up ball of roots, this cheese is so twisted and covered with strange wood-grain patterns that it's hard to tell that it's cheese at all. Wicked Gnarly Cheese has got a much sharper scent than its counterpart, Gnarled Cheese, and a flavor that combines the zing of sandalwood and the sweetness of maple, which makes it like candy to some denizens of the Lagoon.

Burroughs

When rare Living Shards are combined with Radioactive Sludge and a dash of Curds and Whey, they form this cheese, which boasts a mineral flavor with a hint of lime. The shards vibrate within the curd, making high-pitched noises difficult for the human ear to hear. This subtle vibration sends tremors through the ground, which attract the mice living under the soil in Digby.

One of the inventions the scientists of Digby are most interested in is space probe technology capable of fragmenting a small portion of the moon's surface to harvest small quantities of lunar cheese. Unfortunately the cost of launching the probes paired with their ability to only harvest a small quantity at a time means collecting this cheese is extremely expensive. Researching this cheese has proved quite dangerous during experiments in the Mousoleum as scientists seem to frequently become victims of Lycan attacks.

An accidental by-product of an experimental drug, this cheese was created during a chemical spill of a volatile potion. Native to the Laboratory, the experimental mice have found this new type of cheese extremely appealing. Eating it may or may not give you super powers. Use at your own risk.

Furoma

This cheese is specially prepared Swiss mounted on combat dummies and adorned with a target. Masters of the Cheese Fang often use this apparatus to teach students combat techniques as well as help decrease their mental weakness to cheese. Be warned! Should a Master of the Cheese Fang see a hunter using a chunk of this as bait it will surely cause them to challenge the hunter to defend the honor of the school.

This cheese is the result of the careful art of fusing a seemingly infinite quantity of flavours into a single cube of cheese. This decadent bait seems to be the only cheese capable of breaking the will power of the Masters of the Cheese Belt.

Furoma Student mice love the smell of Maki cheese while most other mice find its scent unappealing. Its pungent odour travels farther than that of other cheese varieties making it capable of attracting more students to a hunter's trap.

Crafted from Onyx Stones found only on the Master of the Dojo, Onyx Cheese is made from an odd combination of gorgonzola and Onyx stone. Although most mice wouldn't normally care for a slice of gorgonzola intercut with onyx veins, Onyx Cheese is crafted especially to appeal to a very specific set of tastes. But who could desire this strange flavor combo? Someone as old as the rocks themselves, of course, a master of concealment. . . the Dojo Sensei.

Little is known about the origins of Rumble cheese. Many hunters suspect it is an invention of the Furoma forces designed to somehow destroy Gnawnia. This cheese appears to be incredibly unstable and radiate a mysterious power outwards from its center. The power of Rumble cheese intimidates all mice, scaring them away yet some hunters believe it is the key to attracting powerful, malicious mice. Should you choose to use this bait think long and hard if you are strategically prepared for the adversary it may summon.

Considered somewhat of an acquired taste, Susheese is the traditional meal of the school of the Cheese Claw. The combination of delicious brie and fish fresh out of the Burroughs River seems to be the only bait that will attract the Masters of the Cheese Claw.

Runic cheese’s dark magical qualities are derived from deep within the shadows of the Catacombs. Its color fades in and out, as if it doesn’t quite exist on the mortal plane. Even the most skeptical and well-educated of rodents will be drawn in by the otherworldly smell that surrounds it.

Rodentia

This cheese is the only food which can entice the Chess Master, for its delicate aroma carries the scent... of victory! The Kings of both teams long for a morsel of this cheese, believing it will bring them mastery over the game, but if you can defeat them, the Chess Master himself will challenge you for a piece. Don't leave this cheese out too long, though, or you may find yourself with a stale, mate.

Made especially to catch dragon mice, the inferno havarti is painstakingly cured using fire salt, a special mineral which emits intense heat all the time. Marbled with veins of delicious molten cheese, inferno havarti tempts the dragon mouse with a fiery jolt of flavor and glowing aftertaste.

Ghostly mice just love the taste of a good, mould-veined Stilton, but it's the vanilla that compels the spirits of Balack's Cove to leave their eternal strife. Aged to perfection in the cool, damp vaults of a sea cave, this cheese contains vanilla bean harvested at great peril from the Jungle of Dread. The ghosts of Balack's Cave are not the only mice that love this cheese, however. If you happen to get washed up on a jungle shore, hide your Stilton stock in your knapsack.

Vengeful Vanilla is a cheese best served cold. With a strong, tangy flavor, extreme vanilla sweetness, and just a hint of bitter mold, it tastes horrible-- and the cheese knows it! The main attractive feature of Vengeful Vanilla is its smell. So strong and delicious that it bypasses the natural wariness of even a hardened character like Balack, it draws its victims in... and then the taste does the rest.

Made by adding sugary syrup and just a hint of marshmallow to ordinary white cheese, Candy Corn cheese is a sweet treat that pleases human and rodent alike. It attracts plenty of mice in the Haunted Terrortories, where candy is the main form of sustenance for many creatures. Although Candy Corn is safe for all ages, its sweetness can be overwhelming: mice who overdo it and eat too many kernels will end up with a stomach ache and bad dreams.

NOTE: Candy corn is awarded by visiting the Hunter's Profile of a friend that is currently giving out treats.

Brought to life by placing a pan of pumpkin-infused curd beneath a thunder bolt, Ghoulgonzola has a life of its own-- and a penchant for playing tricks on Halloween revelers. This cheese has been known to pop out of bushes in large flocks, startling passersby, and ring doorbells before flying away. Even after being caught and eaten, Ghoulgonzola will continue to make trouble, fluttering around in your tummy and making rude sounds to embarrass you in company.

NOTE: Ghoulgonzola is awarded by visiting the Hunter's Profile of a friend that is currently giving out tricks.

A soft ball of a sweet cheese that has been liberally infused with the spicy, wholesome flavor of fresh gingerbread. Garnished with a little gingerbread man, who appears to be screaming as he sinks into the sweet treat.

This electric mellow classic will make any mouse want to gorge themselves on its roque (fort) 'n roll goodness. Since it's crafted with all the hard-core awesomeness of a ten-minute drum solo, the flavor beats of up to eleven different kinds of cheese will strum a power chord on the taste buds of even the most reserved mice.

Rockforth is the only cheese known to attract the Rockstar Mouse, though it also attracts other breeds as well.

You can have a maximum of 999 pieces of Rockforth cheese in your inventory.
